OpenCiv: Create standard development environment

RyanGrieb opened this issue · 1 comments

As it stands, it's hard for new users to setup this projects development environment. It all comes down to their version of JDK, what IDE they're using, and other variables.

willpewitt mentions in #64 that we should look into using Docker. After spending the whole day trying to get it working I'm going to give up for now since I have no idea what I'm doing with that.

If anyone has any suggestions to make this project more easy to contribute to, please let me know.

The main reason we're having problems in the first place is Gradle seems to break depending on it's version & the current version of java. I'm honestly just considering dropping Gradle in favor of maven, or something else entirely. Where I don't have to worry about things breaking every java update.
